Hi Folks,

 

Daily chart of bean oil shows open interest rising while price has been consolidating at the highs of its recent uptrend, which typically yields a bearish result...

Best Wishes,

I always have read that consolidation after a strong trend typically breaks out with the existing trend? Aren't we supposed to assume the existing trend is intact until it is actually broken??

Hi Thales,

I was referred to your thread here by a friend. I finished reading it from start to finish. I want to thank you for your contribution here. Your thoughts on money management and trade entry techniques have been very helpful to me. This has been the best thread I've read anywhere!!!

 

Are you active posting on another thread or on your blog now?

I'm happy that you found it to be of value - a lot of good folks made a lot good contributions to this thread.

 

I'm not actively posting anything anywhere right now - I needed a break from the internet. Currently, I am an occasional lurker, but I will be back - eventually.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales, friend of Kiwi

Down to the WP?:cool:

 

Forgive my ignorance...what does "WP" mean?

 

Sorry, Weekly Pivot.

 

Interesting...I picked my second profit target based on the prior swing high and the breakout, but that level is indeed also the weekly pivot! It's always interesting when something like pivot points, fib levels, etc., match up with prior swing high's and low's.

Currently long the GBP/USD...leaving it overnight to either fill my loan profit target or fill my stop-loss...

 

I'm trying to ease my way back into posting again... :)

 

Stopped out for a loss. It's too bad I couldn't manage this in real-time, because worst case it would have been a break-even trade...especially after that double top...in hindsight, maybe I should have had one closer profit target...a profit target on half the position at the 161.8% fib extension would have (just barely) filled and the trade would have been a little better than break-even.

Potential short on the EUR/JPY...

 

UPDATE: Order canceled...

 

Looks like it went the other way. I actually managed to catch some of the move, albeit on the EUR/USD...I entered way late, but I jumped into the impulsive move (with a tight stop) and still managed to eke out about 1R...had I entered the trade at what should have been my entry, it would have resulted in about +2.3R...

 

(EDIT: I hesitated to post an after-the-fact trade, but I decided to anyway since it was basically an extension of the potential trade from the previous post. ;))

Ok Cory, I'll jump on board and post one with you. Probably not the best entry but just wanted to get my feet wet with posting.

 

Long USD/JPY after bounce off up trend line and 123 set up.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
